Based on evidence so far it leans towards him just being your average Republican but ultimately a messed up kid and your typical American mass shooter, no political agenda, he just wanted to cause chaos and left or right, killing Trump would do that and he'll go out in a "blaze of glory". The focus should therefore be on bullying, mental health support and further gun restrictions but it won't be.

You cited incomplete information. He is registered as a Republican but donated $15 to the Progressive Turnout Project according to the New York Times:

Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/us/politics/trump-gunman-thomas-crooks.html

"The gunman did not have a criminal history reflected in Pennsylvania’s public court records, and officials said they had not identified a motive. A voter-registration record showed Mr. Crooks’s Republican registration, though federal campaign-finance records show he donated $15 to the Progressive Turnout Project, a liberal voter turnout group, through the Democratic donation platform ActBlue in January 2021."

Based on the presented evidence, he was a radical progressive Democrat signed up as a Republican to vote against Donald Trump during the 2024 primary. Please try to be more accurate and not intentionally leave out information in the future. 

I guess trying to assassinate the former president means you have "no political agenda" these days.
